I want to take this opportunity to personally thank Tom Healy, administrator at Catholic Memorial Home, for the excellent staff he has. I was blessed with the opportunity of being a guardian for, Alice Cote, a resident at the home for approximately eight years. She did not have any family members in the area. I can honestly tell you that she received excellent care in the facility.

The business, social, and nursing staff as well as direct care staff always were professional and assisted me whenever necessary. The activities department always found a way to include Alice. They gave her a wonderful 107th birthday party last fall. Even the custodial staff could be found conversing with her and offering her a drink if she needed one.

I can understand why Catholic Memorial was found to be 100 percent compliant with the Department of Public Health survey. They truly have a dedicated staff. Again, I say thank you to each and every one who cared for Alice and for all the residents.
